While some here in the US may be familiar with this jacket, the chances are that it’s not a well known item outside of the US. The USN issued JACKET,UTILITY,UNISEX, is a great jacket for chilly days but not really cold or snowy days. It’s made from a polyester and cotton blend material and has a nice quilted lining with knit cuffs inside the sleeves reminiscent of the USN N-1 jacket. The jacket is dark navy blue and almost looks black in the photos. The jacket was issued to USN personnel during the 1990s and it’s really a handy little jacket to have on hand for quick temperature drops . The main zip is a YKK and the jacket has a wind flap that overlaps the zip and is held down by Velcro patches down the length of the front opening. The jacket looks good with khakis, jeans or casual slacks and can be worn to work to class or for a casual look on a night out. Wear the collar popped up and it will provide you with that studly look of the MCQueen or Newman years . The jackets vary in price depending on condition and where you find them. The can be had for $25.00 to $100.00 , but save your money and do a little research for a lower priced one. I think that most of you will like this jacket as it’s a nice piece of kit. That’s it for me … here’s some photos .
